A healthcare corporation that regularly makes substantial profits (and pays taxes on them) has money to invest for five years. The CFO is considering five year corporate or municipal bonds. What are the advantages and disadvantages of those options?

What will be an ideal response?


Corporate bonds have the advantage of paying higher rates of interest than municipal bonds. Corporate bonds have the disadvantages of greater risk of losing money spent on the bonds (if the corporation goes bankrupt) and of having taxable interest payments. Municipal bonds have the advantages of safety and tax-exempt interest payments.
